Thank you for taking the time to read the guidance of what we do/don't fund and other guidance that's included throughout this site. It will help you greatly to know whether or not you should apply to CIT and to understand exactly what we are seeking to do with our limited resources.

There is no application form or pack for CIT - this website contains the full range of information you need to know and understand in order to make an application.

Before you apply, ask yourself if your work/idea is really different, unusual, not happening elsewhere and really NEEDED? (Link to How We Can Help)

You can contact Sian Edwards, CIT's Director, on
44(0)1179 461 834 for further clarification (no collect calls will be accepted) or e-mail us at info@christianinitiative.org.uk

If your work/idea IS promotion of the Christian faith or a demonstration of faith in action then on two pages tell us:

  • Who you are?
  • What are you intending to do? Your idea - please don't use technical or complicated language
  • How you know that it is needed?
  • How much will it cost (how will you get the rest of the money if the CIT application doesn't cover all costs?)
  • How is this work 'different'
  • Is this work new/growth? Describe?
  • Tell us of your personal/group success before - what have you achieved?
  • Finally - and very importantly - tell us how we can contact you.

Please don't send long text or separate attachments with your application.
We can ask you for further information if we wish to take your application further.

E-mail your completed summary application to
